PLANS for 15 affordable apartments on the outskirts of Bridgwater have been unveiled.

Alder King, on behalf of Keepmoat Homes and LiveWest Homes, has applied to Somerset Council for permission to build three apartment blocks on a 1.2-hectare site off Carnival Way, part of the Bridgwater Gateway development.

Apartment building A will house two dwellings, building B nine dwellings, and building C, four dwellings, the plans said, with a total of 12 two-bed apartments and three one-bed apartments built.

“In terms of tenure, all 15 dwellings are proposed to be affordable, with 11 social rented dwellings (provided within buildings A and B) and four shared-ownership (provided in building C),” the application said.

“The proposed dwellings are to be provided with their own designated parking areas, including appropriate cycle parking and refuse storage areas.

“The dwellings will be provided within a landscaped setting, including tree and hedgerow planting, as well as open space.”

The site is just part of the overarching Bridgwater Gateway development, which has already seen a number of schemes built, including hotels and a supermarket, with more than 300 homes also approved earlier this year.

The scheme will now be considered by council planners, and for more details and to comment, log on to somerset.gov.uk and search application 37/25/00055.
